My take as well. I am surprised that Sam Adams can pull off some great styles (its double bock, Imperial Stout and numerous others) but the IPA, a classic of the American style lexicon, seems lacking. (That Latitude beer is better but the hop mix seems to put it aside the regular category of IPA).Masterplan wrote:Had this a year ago in the US, pretty meh.spinrsx wrote:new:
SAM ADAMS REBEL IPA.

It tastes partly like a lager to me and I wonder if it is bottom-fermented cold possibly. The logical Sam Adams beer to see here is, apart from the two mentioned, the Stock Ale which is an excellent, English-oriented ale which is a great quaffer. Much better than the spiced seasonals or the Latitude beer, IMO.

Don't think that because they took advantage of the tinder stick of offering that the Beer Store gave to the craft beer industry that they are in favour of the current set up.

To make it easier for you all to get bottles of our flagship beers (Capital Blonde/Riptide Rye), we're selling at 5 LDN @mybeerstore outlets
not sure how i now feel about Forked River.
I haven't had any of the Forked River yet, the guys are members of the homebrew club I'm in and seem like great guys.
what's that Simpsons' episode where Homer's told to not accept the first thing offered to him, repeats "don't accept the first offer," 3 times in his head, is offered something like a stick of gum and says "you've got a deal!"?cfrancis wrote:Don't think that because they took advantage of the tinder stick of offering that the Beer Store gave to the craft beer industry that they are in favour of the current set up.

negotiating's an art. the second you take crumbs, you're not going to be offered an entire pie
